Rice Lake 120 Digital Weight Indicator - Manual (Page 11)

Configuration 7
3.0 Configuration
SETUP SWITCH
FILLISTER-HEAD SCREW
To configure the 120 indicator, the indicator must be placed in setup
mode. The setup switch is accessed by removing the left fillister head
screw on underside of the enclosure and removing the rectangular
switch cover plate. Switch position is changed by inserting a
screwdriver into the access hole and pressing the switch.
When the indicator is placed in setup mode, the word CONFIG is shown
on the display. The CONFIG menu is the first of nine main menus
used to configure the indicator. Detailed descriptions of these menus
are given in Section 3.2. When configuration is complete, return to the
CONFIG menu and press the (
ZERO ) key to exit setup mode, then replace the setup switch access screw.
3.1 Configuration Methods
The 120 indicator can be configured by using the front panel keys to navigate through a series of configuration
menus or by sending commands or configuration data to the EDP port. Configuration using the menus is
described in Section 3.1.3. Configuration using the EDP port can be accomplished using the EDP command set
described in Section 5.0 or by using the
Revolution III configuration utility.
3.1.1 Revolution® Configuration
The Revolution III configuration utility provides the
preferred method for configuring the 120 indicator.
Revolution runs on a personal computer to set
configuration parameters for the indicator. When
Revolution configuration is complete, configuration
data is downloaded to the indicator.

downloading of indicator configuration data. This
capability allows configuration data to be retrieved
from one indicator, edited, then downloaded to
another.
To use Revolution III , do the following:
1. Install Revolution III (Version 3.1 or later) on an
IBM-compatible personal computer running
Wi n d o w s
® 9 8 o r l a t e r. M i n i m u m s y s t e m
requirements include a processor speed of at
least 166MHz, 32MB of memory (64MB
recommended, required for NT4, 2000, XP), and
at least 40MB of available hard disk space for
installation.
2. With both indicator and PC powered off,
connect the PC serial port to the RS-232 pins on
the indicator EDP port.
3. Power up the PC and the indicator. Use the setup
switch to place the indicator in setup mode.
4. Start the Revolution III program.
Figure 3-1 shows an example of one of the Revolution
configuration displays.
Revolution III provides online help for each of its
configuration displays. Parameter descriptions
provided in this manual for front panel configuration
can also be used when configuring the indicator using
Revolution: the interface is different, but the
parameters set are the same.
